Interesting and unique. Ever shoot them? What's the deal on the front trigger lever? Thanks for posting.
They are like a side eject version of the Spensor pumps and operate the same. The front 'trigger' is actually an extension of the internal hammer and is used to uncock the gun, which is the safe position, you then have to use either your thumb or your index finger to recock it in order to fire. These, like the Spensor use a rebounding firing pin, possibly the first guns to use one. The model 50 still uses a rebounding firing pin (necessary for these guns to function) but uses a sliding safety to block the trigger. The safety is mounted on the left side and for right-handed operation seems extremely awkward. Gene
